1 10976915 Insulin-mediated MBP activation was accompanied by a rapid time-dependent reduction in the phosphorylation state of the myosin-bound regulatory subunit (MBS) of MBP.
2 10976915 The decrease observed in MBS phosphorylation was due to insulin-induced inhibition of Rho kinase activity.
3 11509551 In this study, we tested the hypothesis that insulin via the nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP pathway may inactivate Rho, resulting in a decrease in phosphorylation of the myosin-bound subunit (MBS(Thr695)) of MBP and in its activation.
4 11509551 Treatment of confluent serum-starved VSMCs with insulin prevented thrombin-induced increases in membrane-associated RhoA, Rho kinase activation, and site-specific phosphorylation of MBS(Thr695) of MBP and caused MBP activation.
5 11509551 In contrast, 8-bromo-cGMP, a cGMP agonist, mimicked insulin's inhibitory effects by abolishing thrombin-mediated Rho signaling and promoted dephosphorylation of MBS(Thr695).
6 11509551 Collectively, these results indicate that insulin inhibits Rho signaling by decreasing RhoA translocation via the NO/cGMP signaling pathway to cause MBP activation via site-specific dephosphorylation of its regulatory subunit MBS.
7 11739394 Recent studies from our laboratory have shown that insulin stimulates myosin-bound phosphatase (MBP) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) by decreasing site-specific phosphorylation of the myosin-bound subunit (MBS) of MBP via nitric oxide/cGMP-mediated Rho/Rho kinase inactivation.
8 16855220 In conclusion, we demonstrated here that insulin-induced VSMC relaxation is dependent on Akt activation via iNOS, cGK1alpha, and MBP activation, as well as the decreased phosphorylations of MYPT1 and MLC20 and decreased ROKalpha activity.
